Your most desired pet in an ideal world?

I'm not allowed to have pets where I live, so I've never really got round to thinking of pets to keep in my house. However I saw a wildlife conservation documentary the other day--which got me thinking: I really wouldn't mind having an elephant (or rather, at least two since they are social animals) for a pet under ideal circumstances. Sure they might be high-maintenance due to their large size, and no doubt expensive to feed and such; but at the same time, I think the sense of companionship I'd get from an elephant would sure outweigh the costs--not to mention, I just might be helping the declining elephant population to thrive once again. I cannot really fault elephants either: imo they are gentle, peaceful, the right side of playful, intelligent, cooperative, social--and they always seem to look cheerful and content in everything they do.

So my question is: in an ideal world where you'd have the time, resources and budget, which animal (or animals) would you have for a pet? Feel free to elaborate if you wish.

Personally I'd just like to have a cat since they are very low maintenance compared to most other animals.

And also a sheep or 2, a pig, a cow, a miniature horse, some meerkats and those tiny little monkeys!

Corgi. Always will be a corgi. They are God's happiest creatures.

A dolphin.

A human. You can teach them so many tricks! So smart!

Belgium Malinois.

@Eris has the right idea. if you wanted to fuck your pet you wouldnt get a beastiality charge.

if i had to get a specific human, itd be Sylvester Stallone so he could reenact scenes from rambo.

it wasn't my war! you asked me, i didn't ask you! yes sylvester...

Wolf and raven. For shamanic reasons.

Id have to pick a sparrow. Thos are epic But I dont wanna get my eyes picked out.

I want to have a pet falcon. So I can hunt things and they're very loyal and deadly if trained well. :D

A mixture of sebrights, silkies and Japanese bantam hens.

Alpaca!

Falcons are awesome--the way they fly makes me envious.

@.:neuko:. Yes I am, and yes I have. I want to have a kind of rescue sanctuary for farm animals and animals that are injured on the road :-)

A god, under my total control.

Does a Tachikoma count? If not then I'll settle for a..penguin.

Short answer: Yes. ^ ^

Long answer: Well, in the title I did say, "in an ideal world", but failed to specify the world itself; therefore, by titular definition (or lack thereof) I suppose a "Tachikoma" for a pet ought to be valid, as technically you're not breaking any "rules" here. Personally, I would prefer members to refer to real-world animals rather than fictional equivalents; however, since you also specified an alternative real-world pet, no harm done imo! ^ ^
